SHIVA AND VISHNU STHALANGAL DHARSHAN

10, October 2012

During my recent yathra to Paadal Petra Shiva Sthalangal, I had
been to important temples on the way. They are Aadhi Vaithyanatha swamy, One of the 108 Diva desams and Kezha Perumpallam one of the
Navagraha sthalam for Kethu Bhagavan. Some of the Pictures taken are
up loaded.

AADHI VAITHIYANATHA SWAMY TEMPLE.

The temple is near Vaitheswaran Koil, on the bus route from Vaitheswaran
Koil to Manal medu. The temple is under re-construction by the devotees and it
was told that this was the first Vaitheswaran temple. To Justify there is no
evidence is available in the form of kalvettuggal. It was also told that stone
tablets were used by the villagers for different purposes. The Rajagopuram is
tall almost completed with sudhai velaipadukal. The Moolavar ( 2 Nos ) is in a
thatched shed and waiting for Kumbhabhishekam ( want of funds). I had the
good feeling of worshiping Shiva of very old

Thirumangai Alwar.

This is the one of
the Navagraha Sthalam for Kethu. This temple is near Mela Perumpallam a
Paadal Petra Shiva Sthalam. Usually people used to throng this temple for dhosa
nivarthi on Saturdays and Sundays ie on weekly holidays.
